Given that the betas did work – which comes off a little bit as false advertising -, the chance of the issue being fixed is relatively high. The Destiny 2 betas apparently did work for Phenom users. I am so far unsure of the seriousness of the SSSE3 incompatibility, but it was fixed in Resident Evil 7, and We are investigating the issue and will attempt to fix the crash, but these CPUs are below minimum spec and are not officially supported.įixing the classic SSE4.1+ incompatibility has not been a major hurdle to developers at all. PLEASE NOTE: We’ve seen a number of reports of crashes on CPUs that fall below our stated minimum specs (E.G. Will investigate once the situation changes other Phenom II users have reported that the game ran fine in beta, however.Ĭrucially, Bungie have added the following modifier to the SSSE3 incompatibility: All other incompatible games to date have had much lesser minimum requirements. NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 970 4GB or GTX 1060 6GBĭestiny 2 is, honestly, the first game with minimum requirements that make me finally wonder whether it would actually run on my 3.8GHz Phenom II. NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 660 2GB or GTX 1050 2GB Intel® Core™ i3 3250 3.5 GHz or Intel Pentium G4560 3.5 GHz Windows® 7 / Windows® 8 / Windows® 10 64-bit (latest Service Pack) The system requirements for the game are as follows:

Wait, what? Usually, the common problem with games not running on Phenoms is their missing SSE 4.1+ support! This time around, the problem is SSSE3 (“Supplemental Streaming SIMD Extensions 3,” not to be confused with SSE3!), which is unfortunately supported in AMD processors only after the Bobcat architecture, released in early 2011.ĭestiny 2 is only the second game released with the SSSE3 incompatibility, with Resident Evil 7 (which was later patched for support) being the first. SSSE3 Required: Destiny 2 will not run on processors without Supplemental Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSSE3). In the developers’ known issues thread, the following SSSE requirement is mentioned: The launch has raised the ire of tons of Phenom II users, as the game seems to be crashing mightily on those processors. I just published my List of Games That No Longer Run on AMD Phenom a month ago, and then Bungie’s Destiny 2 launches on Oct 24th.
